As early as half-past seven this morning the curious began to take their stations on each side of Piccadilly, and at half past eight it was impossible to get from or to the line by any of the branch streets ; while " confused, unnumbered multi tudes" perambulated the line for the purpose of picking (set the best spot from which they could obtain a sight of their Youthful and beloved Queen. Nor were those who had se cured seats at the different windows later in their arrival. The galleries erected in front of the mansions of the late Lord Eldon and of Lady Antrobus were, by eight o'clock, occupied with the " Fairest of Creation, the last and best of all God's works ;" and certainly the space between Hamilton-place and Apslcy House presented a most beautiful and grand appearance. At 9 o'clock, the Police commenced clearing the line, and by half-past nine the road was in perfect order for the pro cession. Indeed, great credit is due to the police who were stationed at this part of the line (the T division), for the very quiet but effective way in which they did their duty. A few minutes before ten the first squadron of Life Guards reached Hyde Park-corner, and shortly afterwards the Foreign Ambassadors arrived, the splendour of whose carriages appeared to excite the admiration of all. Marshal Soult was warmly greeted by the populace. Some little confusion was here created in consequence of the Ambassador having broken the line, but order was soon restored, and " The pomp, the pageantry, and the proud array" proceeded. At a quarter past ten a salute was heard an nouncing that her Majesty had left the palace, and this was the signal for a hearty shout from the " numbers without number." The Duchess of Kent and the Duke of Sussex were warmly greeted. At half -past ten her Majesty's carriage passed Apsley House, vs. hich_ " with slow but stately pace kept on its course, While all tongues cried—' God save thee'— You would have thought the very windows spake So many greedy looks of young and old Through casements darted their desiring eye 3— . And that all the avails With painted imagery had said at once— ' Jesu preserve thee." Thus the gorgeous carriage of England's Queen moved on, amidst thq!oud acclamations of her loyal and loving subjects, which lure Majesty most graciously acknowledged, while In every gesture was dignity and love." ST. JAMES'S-STREET. 'Viewed from St. James's Palace, the scene to the upper end of St. James's street was of the most brilliant end ani ;mated description. Nearly the whole of the windows and ihalcoraies were occupied before seven o'clock, and at eight scarcely a scat remained vacant. Crockford's had a peculiarly splendid appearance, from the large number of elegantly attired ladies who adorned the spacious galleries which extended the M hole length of the edifice. The humbler class of spectators the footpaths had by this time assembled in considerable nunalsers. and continued to augment every moment ; and in numerable were the " hair-breadth escapes" of the pedes trians in attempting to cross the - street, particularly at its ;sine lion with Piccadilly, from the roll of carriage s and passage of troops. The danger seas somewhat lessened, when at 8 o'clock the barriers were closed to the public, remaining open n.ercly fur those who had tickets for the Abbey. About nine o'clock the barriers were finally closed, an 71 the assembly th . syts.gan to settle into something like order, sfor the porposa et conve niently viewing the procession on its arrival. Bs half-past dine an avenue had been completely formed, and the crowd waited with the utmost impatience for the signal which was to announce her Majesty's departure from thePala-e. This was at length heard, and about twenty minutes past ten the first part of the cavalcade turned into St. James's street. A fee minutes afterwards the band arrived and struck " God save the Qhccrt," amidst the warmest demonstra tions of respect. Marshal Soult on be in g recogideel was /eltdly cheered, and the applause was prolonged as his ear -I.'"ge proceeded dorm the vreet. The Duchess of Kent met With an enthusiastic reception, and the Duke of Sussex was greeted with immense cheat-lug. The waving of haudkcr chiefs from the windows now announced the approach of her 'Majesty, and every eye was strained to catch a glimrse of the carriage, which at length enie ed .lamea's street, amidst the simultaneous and enthusiastic cheers of the assembled multitude, which were olonged as her Majesty' gra ciously acknowledged the symptoms of loyalty which were manifested. On pesslng Sr. James's Palace, about a quarte r b e f o:e e l even o ' c l oc k, - a short delay took place in con ' sequence, we understood, of one of the traces of her Majesty's carriage giving way. This, however, was not. regretted by 'lie speetatora, who were gratified a ith a 'nose perfect view of her M a j esty t h an they otherwise would have been, Anil who seemed to via with each other in their denson tratious of attachment to her persOn. The accident having been rearm:lied, urn procession again advanced. PALL This for ned one of the most inttr,nting di ,tricts in the whol e li ne o f t h e gorgeous prices ion. Here the ingeimity O fthe arehi tec t, th e p a i nter , th e c al etenter, the h t!ies dash( r, had been taxed to the utmost in the expression of the feelings of loyalty which unquestionably pervaded the universal P°Pulation. At an ea rly p er i o d o f the day, the whole street It as thronged by pedestrians nil equetrians of every descrip tion, wlr,se glivlsome features an,l joyous deleted _l , l , at they anticipated the glorieus proceediags a the day. e are informed that even as early as four o'clock, the pas sengers were , far more numerous than is usu:Wy the case at the same hour Lit the afternoon ; and some thousands of peopl e , anxious to obtain a pap at ‘‘ the admired of all Beholder;" remained in the stations of which they I.ad pes srssed themselves, for three cr feer hours. We niebtion this ci rcumstance as one of the most convincing proof; of the general loyalty evinced throughout the day. the mos nipg appeered rather loweriog, and a quantity ci rain fell between eight and nine o'clock ; but while it damped the epparel, it neither damped the spirit nor the expression of the loyalty of that vast assemblage. By tell o'clock, howe ver, the sun shone forth in his native majesty, and dissipated at once the ominous clouds of the skies, and the fears and forebodings of her Majesty's Leal and true subjects. Every vvincle-,v in the whole line of houses was, for at least two hours previous to the arrival of the magnificent pea.gantry thrown open, and hundreds of England's fair looked forth upon the multitudinous preparations that were making for the re ception of the youthful " Queen of Hearts." At all the•public offices, club-houses, palaces, &c., in P.ll - scaffoldings had been erected on the grandest and most extensive scale for the accommodation of " the people who delighted to honour" the occasion of a virgin Queen's inau guration. Most Of these thronged resorts possessed attendant rooms for wines and refreshments, which were brought into requisition to a great extent, we believe throughout the day ; and many were the sincere aspirations breathed forth for the happiness, the long life, and prosperity of her who en grosses the attraction of all Europe at the present moment. Myriads said in look and action if nut in language— " May she lire longer than we have time to tell her years, Ever beloved, and loving may her rule be, And when Old Time ahall lead her to her end, Goodness and she fill up one monument." And the language and gesture of every one told of anticipa tions of a long, felicitous, and peaceful reign. But tongue nor pea can tell appropriately one fiftieth part of all that claims notice in connection with this " Day of days." Suffice it to say, that every thing which could possibly express the affections of a loyal people was called into requisition by the joyous inhabitants. St. James's Palace, Marlborough Palace (the resi dence of her Majesty the Queen Dowager), Perceval's music shop, the Ordnance, and the Globe Office, presented attractive spectacles. The Oxford and Cambridge Club had scaffoldings erected capable of providing accommodation for upwards of 600 members and friends of the institution ; and the Carlton Club afforded seats to upwards of 500 ladies and gentlemen. The arrangements connected with the Italian Opeia were of the most superb dtscription ; and we must make honourable mention of the taste of the respective architects who superin tended the erections at the Union Club, University Club, United Service Club, Waterloo House, &c. &c. About ten o'clock the roar of the artillery in the Park announced to the eager expectants along the line her Ma jesty's departure from Buckingham Palace; and about half an hour afterwards the first part of the magnificent procession made its appearance. It is impossible fir us to particularize the reception of the various august personages who consti tuted the pageantry ; and we must confine ourselves to the following brief statement of facts :—Marshal Suult met with the most rapturous gratulations of the whole people, forming the most conclusive answer to the unworthy attempts which have been made . of late to excite a spirit of insult towards that illustrious Nobleman. The applauding which welcomed tine arr val of the carriages of the Duchess of Kent and her attendants, and the Duke of SUSSCK and attendants, were of the most rapturous description. But the Queen ! Her re ception baffles every attempt at description. No sooner did the people obtain a sight of the features of her Majesty, than " Such a noise arose As shrouds make at sea in the stiff tempest, As loud, and to as many tunes ; hats, c:oats, (Jackets,. 'twas said) flew up, and had their faces Been loose this day they had been lost." Her Majesty felt sensibly the enthusiasm with which she was hailed, and returned the salutations by repeated bows to the as semblage on both sides as the procession passed along. Everything passed off in the most happy manner; and in justice we state that the military and constabulary regulations were of the first order. 1: 1 !11.: SUN, lA)NDUN, THUESDA JUNE 28, IK3-3. nil& of Itmour, viz, li,n.

The bearers of the regalia during the recognition remained standing about her Majesty. Her Majksty then resumed her seat ; and the Bible, the Chalice, Wi(7 , i the Patina, were carried to and placed upon the altar by the litshops wits had borne them; who then retired to their seats. The Great frii , ers ha.,..; , g resume I ' '. ; .ation near h r - Majesty, two 07liorrs of the Wardrobe then spread a rich cloth of geld, and laid a cushion on the same for her Majesty to kneel op, at the steps of the altar. . . The Archbishop oecanterbury then proceeded to the altar, put on his cope, and stood on the north side. The Bishops who were to read the Litany alio vested themselves in their capes. TilE FIRST OFFERING. The Queen, :Wendel by the two Bislo ps her supporters, and the Dean of Westiniaster, the Great Officers, and the No. demon hearing the regalia and the four swords going before her Niajes , y, passed to the altar. Her Mrjesty, kneeling upon the cushion, made her first offering of a pall or altar cloth of gold, which was delivered by an Officer of the Wardrobe to the Lord Chamberlain, by his Lordsh-p to the Lord Great Cham berlain, and by hi n to the Qacen, who delivered it to the Archb'shoa of CanterburY, by whom it was placed on the altar. The Trca;urer of the Household then delivered an ingot of gold, of o'i4e pound weight, to the Lurd Great Chamberlain, wh.) It,sin,: presented the same to the Queen, her Majesty delivered ;`•.- to the Archbishop, and was by him pot into the Oblation Basin. Her - NL,testy c ontinuing to kneel, the prayer, " 0 God, who &stillest in the high an I holy place," &c., was said by the Archbishop.

The Queen then kneeling at her faldstool, the Archbishop, tanding on the north side of the altar, pronounced the prayer after the anointing; when her Majesty, arising, resumed her Beat in St. Edward's chair ; the Knights of the Garter re turned the pall to the Lord Chamberlain (which was by him re-delivered to the °Meer of the War robe) and returned their sews. CHARING-CROSS. As early as six o'clock the opposite space opposite Charing cross and Trafalgar square was crowded to excess by persons of every rank and description, from the rich citizen to the poor mechanic, all anxious to catch a glimpse of, and to shew their loyalty to England's virgin Queen. The erec tions from this place to the Horse Guards are many of them tasteful in the extreme, especially at the Admiralty, where the accommodation for the ladies of the various officers of that de partment are very extensive. Along the whole of this line the smiling and lovely faces of the beauty of England " Made us gaze we knew not where, Dazzled with beauty." . The commencement of the procession arrived at Charing Cross at half-past ten o'clock, and this was the signal for the congregated multitude to exercise might and right. Hun dreds who had patiently kept their places in the front since six o'clock were forced back, and it was with the greatest diffi culty the soldiers and police could prevent incursions on the line set apart for the procession. On the arrival of the carriage of Marshal Soult, Duke of Dalmatia, opposite Drummond's banking house, the hero of " a hundred fights" was most enthusiastically cheered. The veteran Marshal returned the honour with the greatest grace, and appeared highly de lighted with the attention paid him. The passing of the Duchess of Kent's carriage was the signal for another rush, and we do firmly believe, that but fur the police, the crowd would have carried their loyalty so far as to have forced their hands into the Royal carriage, in order to demonstrate their feelings by shaking hands with the mother of their be loved Queen. Her Royal Highness appeared highly delighted and repeatedly acknowledged the enthusiastic demonstrations of loyalty and respect towards her. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were greatly cheered, but the applause that was conferred upon the Duke of Sussex was beyond description ; it must have been most grateful to his Royal Highness, who appeared greatly affected. At ten minutes past 11 o'clock, her Majesty in the Royal State car riage passed Charing Cross. At this moment the waving of handkerchiefs from every balcony and window, and the loud huzzas and demonstrations of loyalty from the congregated thousands below, pourtraycd a ccene which it is impossible for pen to describe. Iler Majesty appeared highly delighted, and repeatedly bowed in the most condescending manner. Upon the Royal Carriage arriving at the Admiralty, the acclamations of the assembled multitude were renewed. HORSE GUARDS. The Horse Guards, as well as all the other Government Offices, were crowded at every window and every house-top at a very early hour. Along Par:iament.street there were some very tasteful erections in front of the houses, which were generally covered with some device ; they were festooned, and branches of evergreens were judiciously interspersed, 50 as to give the whole line a very pleasing appearance, which was much heightened when they were tilled with beautiful and smiling happy facef,. Amongst all, the largest and most tasteful was that erected by the Reform Club. It gave accommodation to 600 ladies and 500 Members and friends. We understand that the Committee have resolved to afford refreshments to the whole - of their visitors upon tl,is auspicious occasion. In St. Margaret's Church-yard there was not an inch of space unoccupied, and every seat was fil'ed before nine o'clock. No seats were to be obtained for 2s. 6d. this morning as was the case upon the occasion of the. Corona tion of George zhe Fourth. The head of the procession reached this point at eleven o'clock, and seemed to give pleasure to the whole of the vast multitude assembled, many saying that it was the finest pro cession which they had ever seen in this country or abroad. Marshal Soult was much cheered as he passed along the line, with which he seemed to be well pleased. The Duchess of Kent was most enthusiastically cheered, the ladies all waving their handkerchiefs. _ _ _ The Duchess of Gloucester and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were also cheered, and the immense mass a-- semblea, most enthusiastically and cordially cheered the Duke of Sussex. The multitude of Reformers assembled in the Reform Club House were so enthusiastic in their demonstrations of loyalty as to draw the special attention of our youthful Queen, who acknowledged it by repeated b•:ws. Ac the Royal carriage progressed the cheering and Navin;; of haplkerchiefs were unbounded—every hat was doffed, and many were the blessings invoked upon the head of her youthful Majt•sty. 11, , r Majosty arrival at the Abbey i.reeisely at :32 minutes past eleven o'clock. When she alighted, all the Lands played the National Anthem. The arrival was announced at th it moment by the firing of a gun. The pricession was most admirabh conducted, and, so faros wo were able to learn, without a single acciden% The line was kit by the police, assisted by th , .! Goirdi (Foot). The Royal Artillery Cempany, commanded by Cu!. Cox, were on duty in Parliament-s*.rect, and loudly cheered their Royal Colonel, the Duke of Sesicx, as he passed. THE NAVE. The great body of go leral ..;peckto , s were congregated in the Nave, along the aides of whi.th gd! _cues were con structed arranged in an am:iliithcatrical feria, with ten rows of b..nchel, rising above one another, and calculat. d to hold at least 1.500 persons. Very sh.irtly after live o', luck, the hour at which the Abbsy was opened, these gallerie.4 began rapidly to fill, and by s^vcr, o'clork were crowded. 1 he sp , etscle resented h'y this vast audience was very striking. The diversified colours of the different dresses, Naval and Military °facers in their respective uniforms, ClergYinen i n canoni, al robes, Civili ins in endless variety of apparel—from the most ortho lox full dress, to the ordinary every-day gar ments (for the regulations as to full dres were by no means enforced, though none were to be scea Wll3 were not well attirc.l)—and above all, the countless but s which marked the dresses of the fair—all combined to render the scene at once pteture:igne and pleasing. The patience of these spectators was to be severely tried by a s i x h ours ' d e l ay ; but there were not wanting numerous obje t is t o diverttheieattcntion and wile away the tedious interval. Those more diqin per;tonages who had seats in the choir h a d o f course to pass up the nave , to reach their various destinations, and were a source ofperp,-tailly changing attraction. Now, a Judge of the land, with slow paced the floor ; then, a Peer of the Realm, ‘ e !g d al in s'o c p o ' rontvi . on robes of crimson velvet, edged with a n ermine, and coronet . hand, not unfreriuently with a real and unasiainied dignity of port- and bearing thtit 'forcibly reminded " knights ald Barons bold" of bv-goneages ; a" 'll:o.(ltctstlf'te,r a moment to belie, that "'the agli of c hi va lry" had not yet : anon, :.Mill more :10/active, came some t dame—her followed perhaps by some traio spreading around '. her in lusuru tt- r: P ia l . e g n r. d tt: l t . .er fl ic ) e w , ju L f fair and lofty brow bearin t <. lovely cll'aenig7terresssof of n7b i l ) e 'h i t l Y o ' u se," not unworthy of their ti tb:d accesters; officers, "ln all the pomp and pride of glorious aver 1 ; : s 1,ops and : - .lctermen, rorbui‘ant, , , gentle:nen-at-arms passing in TIM: suecesau.a.

The Attorney General came in his official costume as first r of the Crown, accomp - :nied by his Noble corizort, the Lady StratheOen, in her robes zz-1 Pce:csc. One Nobk Poet came attended by a lit le child or such rernarkvble her utv as attracted universal observation, as Page, carrying his coro net. • About,balf-prist tatie a cheer was heard outside, which announced the arrival of some distinguished person ; and a few minutes after his Grace the Duke of Weliagton entered. His appearance was greeted by an enthusiastic shout of applause. The Marquis of Normanby (late Earl Mul4rave) was received in a similar manner. Shortly after eleven the Special Envoys from Foreign Powers began to arrive. The magnificence• of their dresses, and that of their suites, were greatly admired. Marshal Scutt was most cordially steered. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchesses of Cambridge an 1 Kent were enthusiastically received, especially th • latter. Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Sussex and Cambridge met with as hearty a reception. As the Royal procea:ion slowly wound its way between the lofty aisles, the spectacle presented was one as gorgeous and impressiv as anything that could well be imagined. When her most Gra cious Majesty came within sight, the vast audience similtane ously rose ; and a shout " loud as from numbers without num ber," rung through the venerable arches of the Abby, and was re-echoed by the multitudes without, test;f)ing in sine -re and heartfelt tones the loyalty and affection with which the youthful and august monarch of these realms was regarded by her thousands of assembled subjects. Her Majesty, as she wag ked up the Nave displayed perfect self-possession, returning the enthusiastic greetings with which she was received in a manaer mar k e d by that union of gentleness and dignity so characte ristic of her Majesty. Her Majesty was immediately p -e_ ceded by Lord Melbourne, and the Duke of Wellington (as Constable of the Tower)—a circumstance which was re marked by the spectators, and elicited no slight applause. On her Majesty's entering the Choir, the cheering was again re newed, and was indeed only put a stop to by the opening of the Coronation Anthem. The Great Officers of State, the Archbishops of Canter bury and York, the Noblemen appointed to carry the Regalia, all in their robes of estate, and the Bishops who wer to sup port h^r Majesty, as well as those who were to carry the Bible, the Chalice, and the Patina, assembled in the Jerusalem Chamber, adjoining the Deanery, More Ten o'clo •k, where the Re4alia, having been previously laid on the table, was delivdred by the Lord Chamberlain of the Household to the Lord High Constable, and by him to the Lord Willoughby d'Eresby, as Lord Great Chamberlain, and by his Lordship to the Noblemen by whom the same were Lorne i t thc fol lowing order, viz. : REGALIA.

TILE SWORD. The Viscount Melbourne, carrying the sword of State, now deliver, d it to the L or d Ch am b e rlain, and, in lieu thereof, re ceived from him another sword in a scabbard of purple velvet (presented to him by an officer of the Jewel Office, who took charge of the sword of State), which his Lordship delivered !o the Archbishop, who laid it on the altar, and said the prayer, • Hear our prayers, 0 Lord, we beseech thee, and so direct and support thy servant, Queen Victoria," &c. The Archbishop then took the sword from off the altar, and assisted by the Archbishops of York and Armagh, with the I3ishops of London, Winchester, and other Bishops, delivered the sword into the Queen's right hand, saying, " Receive this kingly sword," &c. OFFERING OF THE SWORD. The Queen, rising up, went to the altar, where her Majesty ffered the sword in the scabbard (delivering it to the Arch bishop, who placed it on the altar), and then returnel to and sat down in St. Edward's Chair; the sword was then re deemed fur one hundred shillings by Viscount Melbourne, who received it from the Dean, and carried it during the remain der of the solemnity, having first drawn it out of the scab b trd, and delivered the latter to an officer of the wardrobe. The Archbishops and Bishops who had assisted during the (,ff,Tingreturned to their places. THE INVESTING WITH THE MANTLE. The (;) , teen then standing, her Majesty was invested by the Dean with the Imperial mantle, or dalmatie robe of cloth of :told, delivered to him by the officer of the wardrobe, the Lord Great Chamberlain fastening the clasps. THE ORB. The Queen then sittirg down, the Archbishop having re ceived the orb from the Dean, delivered it into the Queen's right hand, saying, " Receive this Imperial robe and orb," &c. Iler Majesty then returned the orb to the Dean, who laid it on the altar. TILE RING. The, Lord Chamberlain of her Majesty's household then receiving from the officer of the Jcwcl Office the ruby ring, delivered the same to zhe Archbishop, who put it on the fourth linger of the . Queen's right hand, saying, " Receive this ring, ' &c. ' THE SCEPTRES. The Dean then brought from the altar the sceptre with the cross and the sceptre with the dove, and delivered them to the Archbishop. In the meantime the Duke of Norfolk, as Lord of the Manor of Worksop, left his scat, and, anroaching the Queen, and, kneeling, presented to her Majesty a glove for her right hand, embroidered with the arms of Howard, which hrr Majesty put on. iheArchbishop then delivered the Sceptre viith the Cross into her Majesty's right hand, saying " Receive the Royal Sceptro," &c. ; and then the Sceptre with the Dove into her left hand, saying " Receive the Rod of Equity," &c. ; and the Lord of the Manor of Worksop supported her Majesty's right arm, and held the Sceptre. THE CROWNING. The Archbishop standing - before the altar, and having St. I , Awind's Crown before him, took the same into his hand;, , and consecrated and blessed it with the prayer " 0 God, who crownest thy faithful servants with mercy, &e." Then the Archbishop came from the altar, assisted by the Archbihops of York and Armagh, with the Bishops of London, Winchester, and other Bishops, the Dean of West minster carr3ing the Crown ; and the Archbishop took and placed it on her Majesty's head ; when the people, with loud and repeated shouts, cried " God save the Queen ;" and immediately the Peers and Peeresses present put on their Coronets; the Bishvi their caps ; and the Kings of Arms their crowns : the trumpets sounding, the drums beating, and the Tower and Park guns firing by signal. Never did we hear louder or more hearty plaudits, that al most rent the walls of the old Abbey, setting at nought all et*ette and ceremony, than those which burst from the lips and hearts of her attached and loyal people, when the Crown was placed on the head of their young and lovely Sovereign. The acclamations having ceased, the Archbishop pro nounced the exhortation, " Be strong, and of a good courage," &e. The choir then sang the following anthem, " The Queen shall rejoice," &e. TILE HOLY BIBLE. The Dean then taking the holy Bible from the Altar de livered it to the Archbishop, who, attended and assisted by the same Archbishops ard fliihow. as before, presented it to the Queen, saying " Our Gracious Queen," &c. The Quern then returned the Bible to the Arcubishop, who gave it to the Dean, and by him replaced on the Altar, the Archbishops and Bishops returning to their seats. THE BENEDICTION AND TE DEUM. The Archbishop then .pronounced the benediction, the Bishops and the Peers following every part of the benediction with a loud Amen. The Archbishop then, turning to the people, said. " And the same Lord God Almighty grant," &c. The "Tc Deum" was sung by the choir, at the com mencement of which the Queen removed to the recognition chair on which her Majesty first sat, on the south-east side - of the Throne, the two Bishops her supporters, the great Officers of State, the Noblemen carrying the swords, and the Noblemen who had borne the Regan t, coming from their re spective places, and attending► her Maje;ty. THE INTHIZONIZATION. Te Thum being ended, the Queen ascended the theatre, and was lifted ir.to her Throne by the Archbishop, Bishops, and Peers around her Majesty, and, being so inthroned, nil the great Offie'rs of State, the Noblemen bearing the swords, and the Noble.ncu who had borne the other Regalia, stood around about the steps of the Throne, when the Archbishop, standing before the Queen, pronounced the exhortation, " Stand firm and bold fa.q," &c. THE HOMAGE. The Exit ,rtation being ended,. her Majesty delivered the sceptre with the cross to the Lord of the Manor of Worksop, to hull the same on her right hand, end the sceptre with the dove to the Duke of Richmond, to htild the same on her left hit;d durin the homage. The A , elibiShop then knelt before the Queen, and, for him. sclfaad the othi r Lords Spiritual, p - ronounced the words of Homage, they kneeling around him, and saying after him. The Archhi,hop then kissed - her Majesty's hand, and the rest of the Lords Spiritual did the same, and retired. - Tuen the Dukes of Sussex and Cambridge, ascending the steps of the Throne, and taking di their coronets, knelt be- Et: e the Queen ; and the Duke of Sussex pronounced the words of homage, the Duke of Cmnbridge saying afcr him. Their Royal HiAncsses then severally touched the Crown upon her Majesty's head, and kissed hoi• Majesty's left check, and then retired. The Dukes and other Peers thereupon performed their homage, the senior of each degree pronoun :ing th . c words of homage, and the rest o f the same dcgrce saying after hand each Peer of the same degree, successively, touching her Majest)'s hand, and. then retiring. The Peers bearing the swords, wh en go i ng to perf,rm their homage, delivered t , em to noblett.en rear them to hold duritrg that ceremony. At the enrfelusion of the homage, the Queen received the two frepttes from th e D u k es o f N or f o lk an d R i chmon d . During the perrormance of the homage the choir sang the Athein, " This is the day which tie LOrd Lath made," &c. a Id the Trea - un7r of her Majesty's Household threw about the medals of the C.ronation. THE HOLY SACRAMENT. After the anthem the Bishops of Carlisle and Rochester, who had tend the Epistle and Gospel, received from the altar, by the hands of the Arclibisho , ,, the patina and the chalice, watch they c.:rried into St. Edward's Chapel, nod brought f.oin thence the br-ad upon the ratina, and the wine in the cl.alicn.

The service being concluded, her Majes y, atteneed by the two Bishops her supporters, the Great Officers of State, the noblemen bearing the four swords before her, and the noble. men who had carri,d the regalia then lying open the altar, descewled it.to the arena, and passed through the door on the south, shin into St. EdoLrd's Chapel ; the noblemen, who had rained the regalia, receiving them Ooto the Deanmf.

For the informa'ion of the uninitiated among our readers-- the interior of the ‘• auneient Ahba:,e" of We4minster_ being to many, even of the gool citizens of London " a sealed book" Inky he necessary to state that the vast pile is in the form of a cr-si; the aides from the Royal cot' ance running wtst and ea,t, and the Iran cps north and south, the centre of the build ing being the th srtre where the chief p n-tio-tt of tile-august and impressive ceremonies took place; and where the young sod Qu:en of these realms formed to-day tin' pout of attraction, " the cynosure of every eye," of Cu. countless tiiousatids of the elite of th..r aristocracy and gentry, o f this and every . other civilized na'ion on the face of the globe, as• sembled within the venerable pile. Frora the weste •n entrance. where her M tjesty passed un der the organ gsllery to the theatre, a raißd platform twent) - four feet vide vas erected, with a smaller platform on either -ide for the aecommolation of those personages who took a part in the iinp,siag- ceremony. II the centre of the Abbey, numptli -t •ly under the lantern, v.as a square platform, a ci!n(l,(l by four st -ps. covered ni•h claret-coloured drapery, richly embroith red tn gold. Here was placed the throne or choir of state, facing the altar, in which her Majesty received the homage of her people. Its s i des avere hung with gold lace of great tiehness awl elegance, the seat and btek being covert 1 is hit crimson velvet, 0-1 which the Royal arms were splendidly emb!azme•', ;yid the pillars, flutings, &-r., being of buroi d gill There was also a fJot-s'ool corresponding in eves,, particular with the throne At each corner of the theatre • were serniereular rails, within which the heralds and y , nmen of the guar', tearing their partizans, renatined during the ceremony. At ti.e eastern or opp site extremity of the building was he altar, surmounted by a lofty canopy, supportinb vrriou4 natieal fissures in goll. The drapery behind it coesisted of d smash, extendiag along the whole of the f; grit galic - y, and drrip_yd up with elegant festoons of gold cord and tassels. On the right of the altar was the offering table, covered with garter Line Genoa velvet', lsndered with lace aid fringed with gold. In front of this table, and close to the theatre, was the pulpit, elevated on a splendidly gilt and decorated pedestal— the pulpit and cushion being covered with crimson velvet, richly fringed with gold Lice. The south side of the szers r:um was occupied by the Royal 'sox. The drapery here was of the most costly description, being trimmed -with loops of gold rope, bordered and fringed with gold lace, the interior lined with white satin, elegantly fluted, and the chairs, which were of an extremely beautiful and unique pattern, brit) j Jscr elegantly gilt and oroamonted. her Majesty's Litany chair and faldstool were placsd at thn tot of the stage supporting the throne ; the drapery was of the s. the coy-tly material and of corresponding magnificence with the other arrangements for this august and important oc casion. In the east-rn aisle, immediately above the altar, which on former occasions was occupied by the choir, was the gallery for the accommodation cf the Me rib. rs of the House of Com mons:- The se.,t , , &c , were covered with scarlet cloth and ;;old ornaments. Above this was another gallery, rising nearly to the ro , f of the building, the ,e sts of which were also cos cred with crimson cloth. The fronts of the various gal leries were decorat , d with hangings of the same material, trimmed with a deep gold fringe, and having the Royal arms embroidered in gold in the centre. At intervals of about ten feet, extending along tie entire ranges of the galleries were triangular pillars, elegantly flu'ed and finished %ill' gold mouldings. The north and south transepts were occupied fur about half their depth with galleries for tb' accontaodation of the l'evress,es and Fe, rs; th , se, with the smaller galleries Arne ilrm and the vaultings, wire tin 7 shs d in the s4nte chaste and elegant manner. All the galls ri ascending ,mnlsitlwatr;- cally to the roof, afforded coramod!ous view of the togs t the immense assetisblap,, , f ,pcs-tarors. The nave behind the organ, with its galleries right and left, the Gothic screen in front, and the Gothic tracery over the Royal tlt-mice. had a most imposing efTcct. The gilded shafts and pinnacles of the organ were io perfect keeping . with the antique Gothic archit -cture by wh'cb it ts,:s surrounded. Beneath the organ was the gallery for the vocal and insti* mental performers, mio-ding accommodation for upwards of four hundred persons. The most exyliisite taste was displayed ill all the arrange ments which we have thus briefly, and, we fear, irrperfeetly de scribe". The aid t.ir. tinn -of all parties trai chewed not so much by tile splendour of the deeorat.ions, as by the perfect eonsis'enct and keeping of all the parts, applied as they were to the interior of so ancient a Uric as the. Abbey, and harmo nizing so completely with the mas,ivo grandeur of the - time stained wails, which werr judiciously left io ad their original a-chit. •ctural bcau:y an 1 siitip!icity. Flom the t western et trance thr_lugh the nave, along the aisles irro the interior of the theatre, including the choir, north and south trausei:ts, altar, galleries above and on all &des, there was a perfect uni form'tv of style ; all that was. requisite was included ; and al though gorgeous and magnificent almost beyond description, there was nothing v.,:frond t • e of the n ost fastidious, or i t any way to lessen the generalf4ct of the entire. Tie mo t attractive and inleresting portion of th? Abbey, was the north transej t, in which w, re a , sembled several hun dreds of England's noblest and most lovely danies in their rut es e,ta . e.
